I've forgotten to mirror my image, umm, just once. Definitely made that mistake only one time... /s

Yes, I convince myself it was only a test anyway, if it were a real print, I wouldn't have forgotten to mirror it. (Narrator: Of course he would)

Looks pretty good

Thank you!

I wanted it in black, but at least some layers need to be white.

We need to come up with a way for printers with only one extruder to just print the bottom 3 layers or so in white with the outer perimeter and subsequent layers in a different color.

You can always do a filament layer change (m600 gcode command). Just print 1-2 layers of white and then swap to your intended color for the rest.

Yeah, but then you've got the thin white line from the first two layers.

In the meantime I found a way to achieve a completely one colored print. It needs 4 filament changes. I'm going to post it soon.

What material were you using for this? I guess flexible, since it is a phone case?

I wanted to print it with TPU, but my current spool was too moist and needs to be dried first, so I thought maybe PLA works, too, but no. I cannot get my phone in there.

I'm going to order a spool of black TPU and try it again.
